Hendrix' look of LoVE

[jamestkirk]

From many accounts, Jimi took his look from Arthur, AND some of his guitar technique was nicked from you Johnny....true?

I am talking about how you were the first to play your guitar BEHIND your head, up-side-down....Jimi saw it an emulated it....

Many musicians were inspired by LoVE, but to some Hendrix fans, it seems like heresy to say all that Hendrix did was not all his own.

But I am sure he got many inspirations from many artists....those were the times....a beautiful time of cross pollination!

Hendrix is said to have heard Tim Rose's slow version of "Hey Joe" and it has been played that way by many ever since Jimi did...using your "tongue-in-cheek" lyrics of course!!
(Another story)

Rose's slow folk rocker "Morning Dew" cover also became the definitive version covered by many (we won't talk about how Rose was able to somehow get co-songwriting rights for another's composition)


So I am rambling, but my point is that LoVe influenced many, MANY artists, not the least- Jimi Hendrix! Did Hendrix get that behind the back guitar trick from you?
